Here's a video about what we do (from the PSU magazine)
The PSU Community Chorus is a fun, low-pressure chorus for PSU faculty, staff, alumni, and community members to join together and sing. No auditions are necessary, and members can join any time in the first few weeks of each term. The Community Chorus is led by graduate student conductors and accompanists from the PSU School of Music and Theater.
Rehearsals: weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the academic terms around lunch time in : Lincoln Hall 319 (SW Market & SW Broadway). Time: 12:40 to 1:30 pm. Because the PSU time grid has changed, the time is being negotiated. Rehearsals generally begin the first week of the quarter, except for Fall quarter when we usually begin the second week.. For 2025-26 Term Dates, please see the Academic Calendar from the Office of the Registrar.
Cost: $80 cash per term, see Payment Information for more details
How to join: Just show up to rehearsal during the first week or two of the term! If you have a pdx.edu email account, you can join the mailing list here. If you do not, reach out to dbls@pdx.edu to be added.
